You mean like Webmin? Because if you're doing really simple stuff, then it's all good. Anything more complex and more then likely the gui will mess it up. > > Yes, editing the config files right from a text editor is probably > the way to go for some users, but for many others it would be better > if there were GUI tools. That's just my opinion on the subject. Better for them doesn't mean it's better for the config. It's just like WYSIWYG, but instead of for HTML it's for a config file (which would make any error that much worse). By hand it only takes up to 20 minutes to set up httpd.conf and a basic vhost (seperate file(s), of course). -- Wielder of the mighty +1 LARTsaber of Unsubscribe Instructions At End of Message, the +3 Clue-by-Four of No Attachments to a Mailing List, and the -4 Shield of No Spell Checker http://joseph-a-nagy-jr.homelinux.org -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
